The career conference, which included eight Washington high schools, aids junior and senior level students who may be at-risk or undecided in their career path.

Trufant’s path to the business industry came during the final years of his playing career. The former cornerback owns Trufant Auto Detail outside of Seattle, the team’s car detailer, and also invests in the self storage industry.

The Tacoma,Wash., native played collegiately at Washington State University before he was drafted by the Seahawks in 2003.

Trufant helped lead Seattle to its first NFC championship in 2005. But perhaps his biggest showing was in 2007, when he intercepted a career high seven interceptions and earned himself a spot in the Pro Bowl.

He signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars for a season in 2013 after being released by the Seahawks, but returned to Seattle on a one-day contract to retire in his home state.
